Yep, I have to agree it is just instinct (a throwback to their more primitive hunting days - probably not appreciated or needed in todays more domesticated situtations). Ben is an adult male now and ready to lead his pack, lol.

It's fun! That's why dogs are SO awesome... they are very outgoing.

Gracie does the same thing. when we visit my friend that shows and breeds sibes Gracie goes to the same hole and digs and digs. she has dug such a huge hole that my friend put a small sign next to the hole that says "Gracie's Crater"

Gracie has also waded in a HUGE muck puddel. it was almost a lake. a stranger worked throught the muck to have her jump right out. we thought she was stuck. the stranger lost his shoes and had to go chasing after his own dog.

mud and dogs just go together....in a cute, messy way. i personally wouldn't have it any other way!

I have to agree
It's a dog thing. Keegan's favorite thing to do is rolling in the snow or the leaves. Even a dead skunk once!

Look what Keegan did!

Show her these pics and let HER think she's lucky!

for now anyway
